B Series – EAL products

These days legislation in the USA and the EU are demanding environmentally acceptable lubricants on sub-sea equipment, such as stern tubes and thrusters. The legislation limits which additives can be used and how much. Because of this ABCON® has made a full product line of Stop Leak and wear reducing additives based on environmentally acceptable lube oil (EAL).

​

​The Bio degradable oil based version called B Series. It is available with both saturated or unsaturated oil. The ABCON B Series was developed in cooperation with customers and subsequently tested on their vessels. ABCON B Series can stop leaks while making sure that the vessel continues to comply with both the US EPA VGP and the EU Ecolabel.

​

EPA Rules

If the additives weren’t based on biodegradable oil, then the vessels would not comply with the 2013 EPA VGP. If you have any questions or need a written guarantee of compliance, please contact ABCON at info@abcon.eu

How it works

Our specifically designed teflon particles form a barrier in the gap between the rubber seal and shaft surface.

​

All our products are delivered as a concentrated paste which results in a lower product price and lower transportation cost. It also makes it easy to handle by the staff on board which ensures that the vessel doesn’t lose time on its schedule.

​

ABCON has delivered the B series since 2010 to vessels in the US and other parts of the world.
